Epilogue 1

The school year has passed and graduation day arrived.

Minho and Jisung have been flaunting their relationship around the school and not caring about what anyone says. Jisung even learnt to cook other things than cheesecake, thanks to the constant nagging from Minho.

Seungmin has managed to win three competition in photography with the help of Hyunjin as his model.

Felix, Changbin and Hyunjin have all been happily dating for six months. Felix's Korean approving so much, Minho helping him out most when stuck on homework and assignments.

Hyunjin has come out to the whole school who were in shock at first but after seeing him happier they've learned to accept it. The influence of being one of the most popular people has even led other students who were in the closest to come out.

Changbin along with Jisung and Chan have gotten their music noticed because someone posted a video of them performing in an underground club. To their surprise, someone from JYPE approached them and has offered a contract.

Jeongin managed to get a roll in a musical at Seoul Arts Center, it was a minor role but getting it was enough for him. Next year he will aim for a higher one until the day he can get the lead and be a name known throughout of Korea.

As for Chan, before he was planning to open his own studio but he couldn't turn down the opportunity to be at JYPE. He will have the freedom to produce music for himself and other groups. The company is even planning to debut 3racha sometime in the future snd they will have freedom over what music that release.

the year that started out as a mess has had all the jigsaw pieces fit together making a beautiful picture.

"Move a little to the left," Minho shouts trying to take a picture of Chan in his graduation gown and hat.

"Is this really necessary?" Chan groans wanting to hurry it up.

"Yes, very much!" Jisung defends Minho. Standing behind Minho, Jisung can see Minho's phones and all the filters he is trying on Chan.

"Done!" Minho says putting his phone away so Chan can't see the photos and they can be used as blackmail later on.

"Finally," Chan mumbles as he unbuttons his graduation gown. He could feel himself being roasted like a pig under the black gown, today is one of the hottest days they've had all year. "Can I see them?" Chan asks once he has walked back over to the others and folded his gown into his backpack.

Minho hums while giving a cheeky smile, "Later."

Jisung standing behind him is trying to hold in a laugh but Chan catches on and releases something is up. "What did you do?"

"Oh, nothing it's just they should be looked at later... as memories." Minho knows he excuses doesn't sound good but it's the best he can do, being suddenly put on the spot.

Chan squints his eyes and nods his head pretending like he understands. Letting time be the teller of what Minho has done. Hoping it's for better than worse.

With the ceremony of Chan's graduation over the boys can go do what they had planned, party at Chan's new apartment. Due to no longer being a student in college he has to get his own place and his label even offered to buy one for him. It's not big but it has two bedrooms so if Chan wanted he could have a roommate.

"Wow, this place is cool," Felix says as he looks around. The second bedroom Chan has converted into a soundproofed recording studio allowing Chan to make music whenever he wants.

Chan and Minho are the ones able to properly drink with their age but since they are in private they let the others have two beers.

The night goes buy with lots of laughs and shouting. Apparently, Changbin is cheating at Monopoly because he keeps winning. It totally has nothing to do with Felix playing as the banker. Also Hyunjin and Seungmin arguing over who is allowed to play as the dog.

Eventually, everyone starts to get tired and fall asleep. Chan thinking he is the only one still awake starts to quietly tidy up, picking up all the monopoly and playing cards that have been thrown around.

"Let me help." A soft voice comes out of nowhere surprising Chan.

Turning around Chan sees Jeongin getting up from the couch and stretching his arms. "No no, you can keep sleeping. I have everything handled it'll be fine." Chan doesn't expect Jeonging to help out but the younger still comes over and starts helping. Chan gently takes Jeongins arm and the Monopoly notes from his hand, "It's almost 1 am you should sleep."

Jeongin watches as Chan continues to tidy up. Ever since the whole group have been friends Chan has been the same towards him, treating him like a child. "When will you stop?" Jeongin asks not realising what he's said until afterwards.

"Pardon?" Chan lifts his head to look at Jeongin and his heart sinks immediately. The boy is looking at him with teary eyes, sadder than a puppy. "What's wrong?" Chan sits next to Jeongin wanting to comfort him.

"You always treat me like a child. I understand why Minho does but you don't even treat Felix like that most of the time." Jeongin sniffles trying to hold in tears. He doesn't want to cry right now and seem childish for his reasons.

Chan looks at Jeongin unsure of what to say. "It's not that I'm treating you like a child it's just that I'm..." He can't even finish his sentence because he didn't notice he was doing it and the effect it's having on Jeongin.

"You know as much as I hate it-" Jeongin wipes a tear from his eye before it can fall, "No matter what I can't stop liking you." Jeongin forces a laugh trying to play it off.

"Like me? Well, I would hope so since we are all friends." Chan is rattling his brain to try and figure out what he has done to offend Jeongin.

Jeongin starts to force laugh more, quiet enough not to wake the others. "I don't like you as a friend... I like you a lot. Have done for ages, before the whole thing Felix, Changbin and Hyunjin. I would sneak out to when you performed at the underground clubs. It was me who uploaded that video of you guys to YouTube. I've had a crush on you since the first time I saw you and to think, I thought I would never be confessing let alone like this." Jeongin lifts his head to look at Chan who's staring back with wide eyes. "I-I should go." Jeongin quickly stands up to leave, feeling embarrassed, and almost makes it to the door before Chan grabs his arm stopping him from leaving. "I know you don't feel the same way and things are going to be awkward so please... let me leave. You can tell the others I wanted to go back to my dorm and sleep there." Jeongin tries to shake off Chans grip but fails.

"I now know why." Chan looks into Jeongins eyes. "I know why I must've been wanting to protect you Jeongin." Not even finishing explain Chan pulls Jeongin into a hug.

Feeling Chan hug him, Jeongin doesn't know what to do but stay there. He has wished for a day like this but right now is not the right time, Chan is just giving him a pity hug. "You should let me go." Jeongin mumbles from Chan's chest.

"Why?" Chan hugs Jeongin tighter, "Why should I let you go? I know why I want to protect you so much, I've just been blind to it. I like you Yang Jeongin, I like like you."

Hearing Chans words Jeongin almost bursts out crying. This whole time he thought he would be having to hide his feeling from Chan because they would never be reciprocated. He was wrong, very wrong.

"Really?" Jeongin asks as Chan lets his go and starts to wipe away the tears on Jeongins cheeks.

"Really!" Chan says as he slowly leans in, letting the other to move away if they want. However, Jeongin doesn't move and Chan takes this as a chance to kiss Jeongin.

Jeongin closes his eyes as Chan's soft lips are placed on his. It's only a short kiss but more than Jeongin ever thought of getting.
